To examine women's experiences of enablers and constraints to physical activity participation after being diagnosed with breast cancer while mothers of dependent children.
In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 36 Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer while mothers of dependent children.
Social, structural and individual enablers and constraints to women's participation in physical activity included level of intimate partner support, daily household and childcare responsibilities, post-treatment pain and fatigue and level of priority for and pleasure derived from physical activity participation.
The study concludes that social enablers and constraints, particularly partner support and gendered identity, were powerful in framing women's participation. Implications for those working in survivorship care include the need to consider ways to address women's gendered identities and their associated social roles, relationships and responsibilities when designing strategies to increase breast cancer survivors' physical activity participation. Further research is needed to understand the prevalence of the effects of perceived partner support on breast cancer survivors' physical activity participation.
研究确诊患有乳腺癌的女性在作为有受抚养子女的母亲期间参与体育活动的促进因素和制约因素。
对36名澳大利亚女性进行了深入的半结构化访谈，这些女性在作为有受抚养子女的母亲时被诊断出患有乳腺癌。
女性参与体育活动的社会、结构和个人促进因素及制约因素包括亲密伴侣的支持程度、日常家务和育儿责任、治疗后的疼痛和疲劳，以及参与体育活动的优先程度和从中获得的乐趣。
该研究得出结论，社会促进因素和制约因素，特别是伴侣支持和性别身份，在决定女性的参与方面具有重要影响。对从事癌症幸存者护理工作的人员而言，这意味着在设计提高乳腺癌幸存者体育活动参与度的策略时，需要考虑如何应对女性的性别身份及其相关的社会角色、关系和责任。需要进一步研究以了解感知到的伴侣支持对乳腺癌幸存者体育活动参与度影响的普遍程度。
